Nelly’s jaw dropped.

“What?” Zephyr looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to show me your heart?”

“Zen…” Nelly forced a smile.

“Do you want me to do it for you?”

Nelly was incoherent. “Zen, don’t you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“I’m sorry.” Zephyr chuckled. “My thought process is rather direct. I only understand what people say as it is. I thought you’d really want to show me your heart!”

Nelly smiled, “Are you joking with me?”

Zephyr frowned.
